ACL 8.0 generic-function-argument-precedence-order

[Vyacheslav Akhmechet]

Hi,

From what I understand from MOP recommendation

generic-function-argument-precedence-order is meant to return only
required arguments. Quoting the recommendation, "This value is a list
of symbols, a permutation of the required parameters in the lambda
list of the generic function." So far I've verified that this is
honored in SBCL and LispWorks, but not ACL:

(defmethod foo (a b c &rest d) nil)
(generic-function-lambda-list #'foo)
=> (A B C &REST D)

Am I misunderstanding the spec? Are there plans to fix this?

I haven't been aware of this incompatibility yet. It should be
straightforward to provide a workaround in Closer to MOP, so I will
look into this.

There is now a fix for this problem in the Closer to MOP darcs
repository.
